papajoe222 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Sadly, I'm at that age where friends begin to expire more and more frequently. Not only am I left with a void that can never be filled, I also end up acquiring my buddies fishing and shooting gear. I'm a gear junkie, but so was a friend I lost back in May. His wife gave me over half of his fishing gear and although I was grateful, I just can't keep the majority of it. I'll keep two of the rods I made for him to help keep his memory in hand so to speak, but he was a lefty and although I've tried on many occasions to adapt to left handed baitcasters, it's never going to happen. I intend to sell them and give the money to his care giver. I have an idea of the value of the Abu STX, but am clueless about the Citica 201E. It's in excellent condition, but I don't think it's an upper end reel. I don't want to under price any of these reels, but I do need them to sell. Any ideas, recommendations as to a reasonable price to put on these? Quote
OnthePotomac Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 The Citica 200 series is the little brother of the Curado 200 series and many parts are interchangeable. I sold my last Citica 200 for $80 last year with the like new box and the reel instructions. In all fairness, I had installed a crank shaft bearing, ABEC 7 spool bearings and carbon tec drags. The reel was in like new condition without a mark on it. Being in excellent condition I would guess $60 minimum is a fair price. The Citica 200's are really nice reels. Quote
papajoe222 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Posted June 23, 2019 Thanks OtP. I figured somewhere around half of what it sold for new and $60 comes in just under that. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 My personal practice is that I’ll pay 60% of msrp for a second hand item if it’s in like new condition. Some popular items may command higher. The E reels have a loyal following. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted June 24, 2019 Super User Posted June 24, 2019 I have the Citica 201E and it is a nice reel. It sort of reminds me of the old B series Curados . But as far as a used value (like stated above) $50-$60 would be a fair price. Quote
